Idle Problem
Help:
I have a stock 93 touring with 60K miles.
The car is 100% stock.
When I start the car cold, it goes through the normal warm up cycle, and idles down like it should. After driving for 10 minutes, the car does not idle correctly.
It idles at nomal speed, then stumbles and recovers, and stumbles and recovers, eventually stalling out.
I have fought this problem for over a year and it seems to be getting worse. It has been in the shop several times, with no luck at resolving it. They replaced the ECU ($1000), the O2 sensor, plugs, fuel filter, air cleaner. They ran fuel injector cleaner through it (which seemed at the time to help a little). No engine codes have shown up to indicate what direction to go. I do have the shop manual and have been using it to trouble shoot.
I would be interested in any suggestions as to, what to do next or it anyone knows a good mechanic in the Kansas City Area, let me know.
Thank you for your response.
